Smith is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rockies.

Smith only got one start in the weekend series in Coors Field as the Dodgers look to keep him fresh for the postseason. Austin Barnes is starting behind the dish, batting ninth.

Contreras is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Mets.

Contreras will rest for the regular-season finale, as Eric Haase starts behind home plate and bats fifth. Unless he pinch hits Sunday, Contreras will end his second regular season with the Brewers having slashed .281/.365/.466 with 23 home runs and 92 RBIs (both career highs) across 679 plate appearances.

Amaya is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Reds.

Christian Bethancourt will start behind home plate and bat seventh in the Cubs' regular-season finale. If he doesn't come off the bench Sunday, Amaya will end the 2024 regular season having slashed .232/.288/.357 with eight home runs and 47 RBI across 363 plate appearances.

Realmuto is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Nationals.

Realmuto will rest for the Phillies' regular-season finale as Garrett Stubbs starts behind home plate and bats ninth. Barring a pinch-hit appearance, Realmuto will end the regular season with a slash line of .266/.322/.429, 14 home runs and 47 RBI across 413 plate appearances.

D'Arnaud is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

D'Arnaud will get a breather Sunday after hitting a walk-off solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 win over Kansas City. Sean Murphy will start behind home plate and bat seventh.

Alvarez (back) is starting at catcher and batting eighth for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Alvarez left Friday's game against Milwaukee due to back spasms. That kept him out of Saturday's lineup, though he did manage to pinch hit for Luis Torrens in the top of the eighth inning. Since Sept. 1, Alvarez has slashed .231/.355/.538 with five home runs and 14 RBI over 62 plate appearances.

Bailey went 1-for-3 with two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.

Bailey has gone 12-for-43 (.279) with three extra-base hits and four RBI over his last 14 games. His steal Saturday was his fourth of the year and his first since July 22. The catcher has put together a middling year at the plate, slashing .234/.298/.339 with eight home runs, 46 RBI, 46 runs scored, 16 doubles and a triple over 121 contests. While he hasn't hit all that well, Bailey's elite pitch framing and arm have made him an essential part of the Giants' roster.

Higashioka went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

Higashioka opened the scoring when he took A.J. Puk deep in the ninth inning. This was Higashioka's first homer in a month, and he's had a poor September, batting just .174 over 17 contests. For the season, the catcher has a .220/.263/.476 slash line with 17 homers, 45 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases over a career-high 263 plate appearances.

D'Arnaud went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Royals.

D'Arnaud has had few big moments in September -- he's hitting just .163 (7-for-43) with two extra-base hits this month. The walk-off blast was his 15th homer of the year, making this the fourth season in his career in which he's reached that mark. The catcher has added a .236/.301/.439 slash line with 48 RBI, 39 runs scored, 16 doubles and one stolen base over 335 plate appearances. He has been splitting time evenly behind the dish with Sean Murphy lately.

Grandal went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Yankees.

The veteran catcher got the Pirates' offense going with a solo shot off Luis Gil in the second inning, one of five long balls by Pittsburgh on the afternoon. It's Grandal's first multi-hit performance since Aug. 21, and his first three-hit effort since Aug. 4. On the season, the 35-year-old sports a .228/.304/.400 slash line with nine homers and 27 RBI in 215 plate appearances.
